The City of Yakima and the Downtown Association are actively seeking nominations for this year’s Community Christmas Tree, which will become the centerpiece of holiday celebrations in downtown Yakima. Residents are invited to nominate well-shaped evergreen trees from their properties, ideally standing between 20 to 25 feet tall. The selected tree will not only enhance the festive atmosphere but also symbolize community involvement and unity during the holiday season. To be eligible, trees must have easy access for transportation and installation, ensuring a smooth setup process. This initiative highlights the importance of local participation in creating a vibrant holiday spirit and showcases the city's commitment to engaging its residents.

The call for nominations is a reminder of the cherished traditions that bring the community together during the festive season. By involving residents in selecting the Christmas tree, Yakima fosters a sense of ownership and pride in its holiday celebrations. This year’s initiative is expected to draw significant interest and participation from the local community.
